Britain loves its heroes so much we have been known to pickle them in brandy to keep them fresh. And after all, every nation sometimes needs a bit of unifying Blitz spirit (although in an ideal world, we wouldn’t have accidentally let Corporal Hitler go in the first place).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBritain and the British have a proud history of choosing their enemies, from the Romans to the Germans. You might even say they made Britain what it is today...\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRevolting\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eIt is a truth universally acknowledged that the rich and powerful always look after their own and the working people are always revolting. But every now and again, a new group actually manages to seize power, and it changes history.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFew enjoy the success of Ivaylo, the Bulgarian swineherd who managed to fight off the Mongols, slay the Tsar and marry his widow in the space of a year. But then, some rebels have more modest aims: Spartacus mainly wanted to go home to see his mum. Either way, we have much to learn from the tactics of revolutionaries gone by, like the two suffragists who posted themselves by Royal Mail to see the prime minister. (A first-class idea, though Downing Street declined the parcel.)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrom the peasants to the slaves, the martyrs to the mutineers, Revolting celebrates the resilience and determination of those who dared to challenge the status quo.\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Penguin Random House","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58404760715651,"sku":"B2D8786","price":16.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0024\/6874\/1219\/files\/terry.jpg?v=1783338821","url":"https:\/\/www.books2door.com\/products\/terry-deary-collection-2-books-set-non-fiction-paperback","provider":"Books2Door","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
